I Application filed June 30, 1905. Serial No. 267,856.

To all whom it may concern Be it known. that I, WILLIAM EMU. BOCK,- residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, a citizen of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Finishing Machines. of-which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying l drawings.

The invention relates to new and useful improvements in fire-ti nishing machines, and

machine embodying a traveling ware holder with! a furnace or burner above and below, so that both ends of the article may be fire-Iini ished simultaneously, and in such a device i with a double burner below and a single burner above, and further in the construction, 1 arrangement and combination of the various parts, as more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved machine, partly in section; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section showing the base and the ratchet wheel in plan, the i ratchet wheel being broken away to illustrate the lock; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the machine; Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the ratchet Wheel and the base to illustrate the construction of lock.

A represents the base, upon which is the post or standard B. Journaled about this standard is the sleeve C, to the lower end of which is secured the ratchet wheel D, and to the upper end of which is secured the table E. The under side of the ratchet wheel is the notched flange F. Pivoted on the base i is the rocking lever F, at the end of which is the pivoted spring-actuated pawl G having .a i

roller wrist G adapted to engage the notches l H of the ratchet wheel. Beneath the ratchet wheel is a guide I, in which is slidingly secured the bolt J, normally held outward by g the tension of the spring J. This bolt has flange, which is adapted to be struck by the end of the lever F to unlockit, when in the 1 1 v I I u l position shown in full lines in Fig. 2, and l which whenthe lever is drawn. out of the path 1 of the extension K will permit the spring J l to first press the bolt against the inner edge of the llan e and when thewheel is turned so i that one of the notches l) is opposite the bolt l will be projected therein and lock the ratchet l wheel and the table until the lever is again Q reciprocated back to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2. This lever F may be rocked upon its pivot by any suitable means, not shown. I

The table E is provided with a series of holders, M, arranged concentrically thereon, and the table is provided with an aperture N beneath each holder. Above the table is a nozzle O, adapted to be supplied with air and gas and forming a burner, the flame from.

which is directed through the brick-lined sleeve P downward. upon the article in the sleeve form in effect what is known in the glass .art as a glory-hole burner. The sleeve P is supported by a suitable bracket a, which is secured by clamping bolts b upon the post B at anydesired point.

Below the table is another. nozzle Q, and

; holder beneath. This nozzle and brick lined brick-lined sleeves It, supported upon the brackets R, which in, turn is supported on the post S projecting upwardly from the base.

I. have shown the device as supplied with a bottle T, which isto be fire finished at both ends.

In the manufacture of bottles in connection with such a machine as the Owens bottle machine there is a mark produced on the bot' tom of the bottle by the cut-off operating across the bottom of the blank mold and athering the glass, and it is desirable thereore to lire-finish the bottom, particularlyin the middle portion thereof, and also to fire finish the top:

' The table is moved so that one of the holders M is between the two sleeves P and and thus the burners will direct the flames through these sleeves upon. the top and bottom-of the bottle, the bottom being exposed to the flames at the aperture N.

Each bottle is subjected to the action of the fire-finishing furnace at both ends during 1 the time that the table stands still between an actuating extension K below the notched 5 the intermittent rotary movement imparted "the top the oottomwill be partially fire-finj tion is given a double period e3 time for the bottom as compared to the too If neeessery, more at theseburners may be applied, so that the bottle mayhei'ifce-finished at two or three of the stopping points if-desiied.

Whet I claim is u 1. A firefinishing machine comprising at base, an intermittently rotating epertured table thereon, holders at the apertures, fingases or burners above and below'the table at e stopping point of, the. holders, etude-sho 0nd furneee 01* hurnei" 'at an adjacent stop ping point below the table.

2; In afire-finishing machine, the eombination of a base, it post thereon, a sleeve journeied about the post, i were-earner table at eeepes the top of-the sleeve, e retehet wheel at the heee, which for the ratchet wheel, meens for actuating the ratchet wheel, and for locking the parts between movements, and for withdrawing the loekhehire eeeh actuation.

In e'11rehmsh1ng machine the combination of a base, e post thereon, a sleeve journaled about the post, a were-earner table at th'e top of the sleeve, a ratchet Wheel at the base, efloek for the table, it rocking lever, a. spring .pewl on the lever adapted to en age the ratchet wheel; and means for unloo (1n Y thewheel hylthe lever at each operation, (mi

looking it between operations.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

WILLIAM EMIL BOOK.
